More disgusting scenes from La Liga to report this weekend, with Atletico Madrid fans shaming themselves this time.

Levante’s Senegal midfielder Pape Diop was clearly seen being objected to racist abuse – in the form of monkey gestures – from a section of the Atletico travelling support towards the end of Sunday’s 2-0 victory for the hosts.

Diop responded by dancing in front of the baying mob, prompting a mass brawl involving players from both teams, seemingly because the title-chasing Atleti players presumed the Senegalese player was rubbing their noses in the defeat.

”They called me a monkey so I danced like one to draw attention,’ Diop said.

‘I have nothing against the Atletico fans because it was only a section who chanted,’ he added.

‘It’s a lack of respect you get at all stadiums. It’s a provocation. I don’t know if you can call it racism but these monkey chants have to stop.’

The incident comes a week after Barcelona defender Dani Alves had a banana thrown at him by a Villarreal fan.
